  • lol holey, i was expecting that for some reason lol.

    personally firefox, though it depends what im using, if im using a netbook it has to be chrome for its minimalistic taskbar on my desktop firefox, just... because, i dont know why, i use it so much its just like second nature to me to use ff or install it with every new build, though i do still have a soft spot for IE, its always there and always ready to go and has come a long way since IE4 O.O i remember my first ever pc and trying to connect via dialup to access MS chat and IE would open up every time the dial up had connected and opened..... wanadoo

    I mainly use Chrome and Safari; they're both excellent browsers and very fast.

    There's nothing stopping you from trying out all of them and picking the one(s) you prefer.
  • this is true, and if apple allow opera mini on the iphone i will be using that instead of safari

    If Apple do approve it, it would probably be wise to try it out first before you decide you'll use it. ;)

    Opara 10.5 for the Mac looks interesting though; I'll have to download it and have a play around.

    I'm a Google Chrome fan as it launches and browses quick.
    Firefox is quick for browsing but takes ages to launch from the start.

    Sorry, could you say that again please? One of those bloomin' flying pigs knocked into me.

    For those who like Chrome, but are concerned with Google looking over their shoulder, then have a look at at SRWare Iron - a de-googled version of Chrome.

    And yes I'm a bit paranoid, I also use a GoogleSharing proxy in Firefox!!

    Depends what your definition of "ages" is...
